Microsoft’s fixing this annoying Windows 11 fault
Windows 11 has introduced some fantastic features for businesses, and Microsoft is continuously working to enhance them even further.
One feature that many of us have found challenging is the Recommendations feature in the Start menu. If you've ever clicked on it expecting useful suggestions but ended up with irrelevant ones, you're not alone. Fortunately, a fix is on the horizon.
Let's first understand what the Recommendations feature is designed to do.
Essentially, it aims to display apps, files, or websites that Windows believes you'll want to access next, based on your previous usage. For instance, any apps or websites you frequently use should appear in your Recommendations for easy access.
Sounds handy, right? If it worked well, it could become a favourite time-saving feature for busy teams. However, with suggestions often feeling random and unhelpful, many of us have been ignoring this part of the Start menu altogether.
So, what's changing?
Microsoft has started rolling out updates (currently in testing) to make Recommendations much smarter.
They've refined the way Windows determines what's relevant to you. Early feedback indicates that the updated feature is significantly better at showing things you actually need – like that file you were working on yesterday or the app you use most during work hours.
If you've been frustrated by the Start menu in the past, keep an eye out for these improvements. They're a step in the right direction.
